What:

When:

The challenge begins on September 3, 2008 and will end on September 3, 2009(hear that Linda?! 365 days! 8D), however, the deadline may be moved depending on whether or not we pull our weight and actually work diligently on it

Why:

lol, FOR PRACTICE 8D

So what do I get for completing it?:
